my laptop was fine last night but when i took it out and switched it on this morning it was like this, whats the problem and how do i sort it?

Answer 1

Not seeing a problem here. This looks like a desktop on any number of dell laptops....

Are there things missing here? Did you used to have a lot of other files? Was the background different? What is it that upsets you about the way this looks right now?

Ok, you say the screen looks weird... but, the screen cap doesn&#039;t. So, I can only assume you&#039;re looking at that screen cap on your laptop - which has the weird colors. Couple things you can try. Right click the desktop, go to properties. Tab over to settings. Then make sure you&#039;re set to the proper number of colors. Also make sure the monitor you have selected is the one you have (dell laptop monitor).... you can also click on troubleshoot and let the MS wizard step ya through some things... although, if the colors are set to the right level and the right monitor is selected probably won&#039;t do a lot of good.  Advanced option, similarly, is unlikely to give you a lot of results, although tis a possiblity.

If that doesn&#039;t work - you might want to try plugging an external monitor into your laptop through the output to see what the picture looks like on that. If the picture is STILL in funny colors - it&#039;s a setting on your laptop - if it&#039;s fine on the external monitor - there&#039;s a problem with your laptop screen.....  that needs repair.

If it turns out it is a setting on your laptop - might want to try to download drivers. Either use an install disk or go to the web to find drivers for your machine (they&#039;ll be specific, you may have to google and search a bit) and reinstall them.

Hope that helps some.

I think you should keep pressing print screen until it goes normal.
